I.

INTRODUCTION

The Municipality of Santo Domingo's comprehensive tsunami evacuation plan directly addresses the mandates of the Local Government

Code of 1991 and Republic Act 10121, prioritizing community safety and resilience. This plan outlines preparedness, response, and

evacuation procedures to minimize loss of life and property damage from tsunamis. It integrates a bottom-up approach to disaster risk

reduction and management (DRRM), ensuring community needs are central to the plan's design. Crucially, the plan incorporates COVID-19

health protocols (Minimum Public Health Standards) into all phases of evacuation and response. This plan is a vital component of the

municipality's overall DRRM strategy, ensuring a swift and effective recovery following a tsunami event.

II. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

This plan aims to create a resilient community prepared for, response and capable of recovering from tsunamis. Specific objectives include:

1. Developing clear, easily understood evacuation procedures for all residents.

2. Identifying and mapping high-risk areas and accessible evacuation routes.

3. Implementing a reliable early warning system for timely alerts.

4. Establishing and equipping adequate evacuation centers with sufficient resources (water, food, medical supplies, sanitation

facilities).
 5. Fostering strong communication and coordination among all stakeholders (government agencies, community leaders,

volunteers).

6. Regularly reviewing and updating the plan based on lessons learned and evolving conditions.

III. RATIONALE AND SCOPE

The rationale for this plan stems from the inherent vulnerability of coastal communities to tsunamis and the imperative for proactive disaster

preparedness. The plan's scope encompasses all aspects of tsunami response, from pre-event preparedness to response. This includes:

1. Detailed, accessible evacuation procedures for all residents.

2. Identification and mapping of high-risk areas and evacuation routes, considering accessibility needs.

3. A robust early warning system for timely alerts.

4. Prepared evacuation centers with sufficient resources.

5. Strong communication and coordination among all stakeholders.

6. A commitment to regular review and updates.

V. TSUNAMI RISK PROFILE & HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Santo Domingo's coastal location within the Pacific Ring of Fire makes it vulnerable to earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis. The high

population density in coastal areas exacerbates this vulnerability.

While earthquakes rank as the third highest hazard in terms of probability and impact, as seen in the data, the Municipality of Santo

Domingo also faces a significant risk from tsunamis. Historical data reveals that the municipality experienced strong earthquakes during the

July 16, 2019, killer quake with an epicenter in Baguio City and the July 27, 2023 earthquake with an epicenter in Tayum, Abra. While

earthquakes cannot be projected, intensifying IEC campaigns and drills are crucial for preparing the community for the potential impact of

tsunamis.

PHIVOLCS's warning following seismic activity near Santa Catalina highlights the immediate need for a comprehensive evacuation plan. A

magnitude 8.4 earthquake could generate waves up to 14.7 meters high, impacting Santo Domingo. The plan must account for:

A. Human and Social Impacts

Potential for mass casualties, injuries, trauma, and disruption of social structures. Post-tsunami mental health support is crucial.
B. Economic and Environmental Impacts

Extensive damage to infrastructure, agriculture, fisheries, and tourism, impacting livelihoods and the local economy. Coastal erosion and

land loss are additional concerns.

VII. WARNING DISSEMINATION FLOW
The tsunami warning dissemination flow chart response procedure begins when an earthquake is detected. PHIVOLCS then conducts an

initial seismic assessment, analyzing the earthquake's magnitude, location, and depth to determine the potential for a tsunami. If the

potential is deemed high, PHIVOLCS issues a Tsunami Watch, an advisory indicating a potential threat. The MDRRMC (Municipal Disaster

Risk Reduction and Management Council), receives this watch and disseminates it to the barangays through local communication channels.

Barangays then prepare for a potential evacuation by reviewing their plans and ensuring equipment readiness.

The situation is continuously monitored for changes in the tsunami threat level, based on updated information from PHIVOLCS. If the threat

increases, PHIVOLCS issues a Tsunami Warning, signifying an imminent threat. The municipality receives this warning and immediately

disseminates it to the barangays using all available communication methods. Barangays then initiate their pre-established evacuation

procedures, guiding residents to designated safe zones and evacuation areas. This involves coordinating transportation and assisting

vulnerable populations.
Once the tsunami threat has passed, PHIVOLCS issues an all-clear signal. The municipality relays this signal to the barangays, enabling a

controlled and organized return of residents to their homes. The entire procedure concludes with a post event assessment by the MDRRMC

to evaluate the response and identify areas for improvement in future preparedness efforts.

TSUNAMI AWARENESS AND PREPAREDNESS

The Municipality of Santo Domingo, situated along a vulnerable coastline, faces a significant risk from tsunamis. To safeguard the lives and

livelihoods of its residents, the Local Government is implementing a comprehensive program to increase community awareness and

preparedness. This program utilizes various strategies, including the establishment of an early warning system, distribution of leaflets and

IEC materials, lectures and drills, and a dedicated social media platform.
A. Before a Tsunami

1. Identify your location's tsunami risk by checking local hazard maps and understanding the history of past events. Pay

attention to official warnings and advisories from authorities.

2. Create a plan for your household or community, including:

 Establish safe locations where everyone can gather after evacuating.(see evacuation route guide map)

 Identify multiple escape routes to higher ground, considering potential road closures or hazards.

 Prepare a "go-bag" with essential items like water, non-perishable food, first-aid kit, flashlight, radio, important documents,

and medications.

 Establish means to contact family and friends in case of separation.

 Regularly practice evacuation drills to familiarize yourself with routes, procedures, and designated meeting points. Involve

children and older adults in the drills.

 3. Stay Informed: Subscribe or join to official page (MDRRMO Sto. Domingo I.S) and group alerts (messenger group chat) and

advisories from local authorities,

B. During a Tsunami

1. If you receive a tsunami warning or notice unusual water behavior (sudden receding of water, strong currents, or a loud roar),

evacuate immediately. Don't wait for official confirmation.

2. Move to higher ground as quickly as possible. Find a safe location away from the coastline, rivers, and low-lying areas.

3. Do not attempt to return to the coast until authorities announce that it is safe. Tsunami waves can arrive in multiple surges,

and the second or subsequent wave may be larger than the first.

4. Once you reach higher ground, find a sturdy structure or open space away from potential hazards. Avoid areas prone to

landslides or debris flows.

5. Monitor advisories for updates on the tsunami's progress and safety instructions.
C. After a Tsunami

1. Remain in your safe location until authorized to return to your home by local authorities. Return to your home only when it's

safe and after authorities have inspected the area for damage and hazards.

2. Assess yourself and others for injuries and provide first aid if necessary. Contact emergency services if needed.

3. Avoid areas with downed power lines, broken gas lines, or hazardous debris. Be cautious of contaminated water sources.

4. If you are able, offer assistance to neighbors or those in need. Follow instructions from authorities and volunteer

organizations.

5. Contact local authorities to report damage to your property or infrastructure. This information helps with relief efforts and

damage assessments.

6. Continue to monitor official sources for updates on recovery efforts, warnings, and safety instructions.
VIII. EVACUATION PROCEDURE

XIII. EARLY WARNING SYSTEM

A. The Siren

This procedure outlines the actions to be taken upon activation of the tsunami early warning siren system. Timely and coordinated response

is crucial to minimize risks.

1. Siren Activation

 A continuous, loud, wailing siren sound indicates an imminent tsunami threat. This sound will continue until an "all clear" is

announced by official authorities via multiple communication channels, including science-based agencies (PHIVOLCS, official

Facebook pages, and public advisories).Individual Actions Upon Hearing the Continuous Siren

 Evacuate immediately to higher ground, away from the coast and low-lying areas.
  Follow pre-determined evacuation routes (see evacuation route guide map).

 Proceed to your designated assembly point (Cabigbigan covered court) once you reach safety.

 Alert family members, neighbors, and anyone else within reach about the imminent tsunami.

 Listen to advisories for updates and instructions from emergency services such as MDRRMO, PDRRMO, official LGU Facebook

pages, and other science-based agencies.

 Remain aware of official announcements regarding the tsunami threat and the "all clear" signal.

2. Actions for MDRRMC

 Immediately activate the contingency plan.

 Assist with the evacuation of vulnerable populations (senior citizens, specially able person, pregnant.children).

 Continuously monitor the situation and provide updates to the community.

 Manage and allocate resources effectively to support evacuation and rescue efforts.

 Provide regular updates to the public through available communication channels.

3. "All Clear" Signal

 Official Announcement: The "all clear" signal will be announced by official authorities via multiple channels.

 Only return to your home or place of business after receiving the official "all clear" signal.

 Cooperate with emergency response teams in assessing the damage and participating in recovery efforts.

4. Regular Testing and Maintenance

 The siren system will be tested regularly.

 Regular maintenance and inspections will be conducted to ensure the siren system's functionality.

5. Community Preparedness

 Familiarize yourself with the community's evacuation plan, routes, and assembly points.

 Keep emergency contact numbers readily accessible.

 Prepare an emergency kit (Go Bag) containing essential supplies.

XIV. ROLES AND FUNCTIONS PER CLUSTER FOR TSUNAMI PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE

The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MDRRMC) has a comprehensive contingency plan for tsunami events. In

the event of a tsunami, the MDRRMC operations center will be activated as the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). When a strong

earthquake hits the municipality, the MDRRMC will conduct an initial assessment. An incident command post will be deployed to a safe

location near the affected area. The local chief executive will mobilize and deploy the response team, and clusters will provide continuous

support to the responders. Clusters and the incident management team will operate based on the contingency plan.

Three response teams will be established to address potential tsunami impacts within the inundated barangays of Casili, Calay-ab, Sived,

Nanerman, Pangpadan, Paguraper, and Binalayangan. These teams comprise personnel from various response clusters.

The Chairperson/Responsible Official, or the municipal mayor of Santo Domingo, Ilocos Sur MDRRMC, will supervise the coordination

activities and strategic decisions of the clusters. These decisions will then be communicated to the Incident Commander (IC) through the

EOC. The IC, in turn, will report tactical activities to the EOC and the clusters.

1. Upon detection of a strong earthquake, the MDRRMC initiates a rapid needs assessment to determine the potential for a tsunami. This

assessment uses existing geo-risk hazard assessments to identify vulnerable areas (Barangays Calayab, Sived, Casili, Paguraper,

Nanerman and Pangpangdan.

2. Vulnerable coastal areas are immediately advised of the potential tsunami threat and the need for evacuation. These communities,

already aware of the threat due to prior information, education campaigns, and disaster preparedness initiatives, begin self-evacuation

to pre-identified safe locations.

3. The MDRRMC activates the Operation Center to Emergency Operation Center, which is the central hub for coordinating the response.

The EOC activates its communication systems and begins coordinating with all response clusters. An alert is issued based on the initial

assessment.

4. Based on the initial assessment, the EOC selects a safe location near the affected area for the ICP. This location is communicated to

the Incident Commander (IC). The IC, likely the Local Chief Executive (LCE) , establishes the ICP with necessary personnel and

equipment.

5. The IC, working with the EOC, mobilizes and deploys response teams based on the needs identified. Three teams are deployed to

immediately respond and assess the situation. These teams are composed of personnel from various response clusters (Search and

Rescue, Medical, Seurity, Evacuation and Transportation, Clearing Operation ).
